ST. PAUL Minnesota House Republicans found no Democrats willing to join their first 2011 attempt at trimming the state budget. <a href=”http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/306504/”>Continue Reading</a>

No one want to grab this deficit problem because it is political suicide. It is to bad that all the workers paying into Social Security know that they will not get anything back. This is really not right. They say they don’t know where to cut, they are not looking. I can list a few, 1. Reduce all Congress and President’s expense by 10%. 2. Stop the excessive spending in all federal buildings, New carpet and computers every six months, 3. Cut Corp of Engineers budget 10%, 4. Put the Social Security age at 70. 5.Park Air Force 1 other than emergency. These cuts would take care of the problem. They say Social Security will last until 2037? I would not be surprised to see it end any day. THERE IS NO MORE MONEY.

Social Security can’t go complete broke because the current workers that pay into it to pay for current beneficiaries. Part of the problem arises when we have more retired than working class people paying in and the benefits will go down. We could solve this by removing the $106,800 income cap and everyone pays the same percentage regardless of what they make.

I also agree that it should be off limits to Republican and Democrat spending when it has a surplus. That’s just idiocy. O_o
